Our goal in the Lab is to make every participant feel welcome during each of their
lab visits. The research participants become like family to the staff during the course
of the studies. Below are some testimonials from recent research participants.

I was getting the best care available in Tampa." – HBM Study Participant

surrounded by such warm professionals." – ACHIEVE study participants

researchers and may be of value to seniors with age-related hearing loss." – ACHIEVE participant

me personally. The degradation of my hearing was gradual, and I was only dimly aware
of that loss. In consequence, I had never seriously considered hearing aids." – ACHIEVE participant
